"So, have you considered what she told you?".
I looked at my dad as he sighed. Amanda told him everything about the divorce and that she wants me to be with Stella, she's the one for me and right now if dad doesn't agree, I might've to do something I have never thought of doing.
" Son, I have considered what she told me and......".
"And what dad? You still insist on me leaving her for good?", I say a bit loudly. I was eager to hear what he had to say.
"I want you to be with the woman you love. It was wrong of me to decide your future and I hated it. I thought that the woman you've been with for years was the right choice to be by your side but I was wrong. I want you to be happy and do what makes you happy ".
A wave of relief engulfed me and I found my lips
(earlier) Stella Newton Can we go home now?".We pulled away looked and I looked at my mom who had a sweet smile on her face."Ofcourse mom", I say taking up my bag before nodding at Daryl. As we were leaving the hospital, there was a loud cough and both our eyes landed on Brad who was sitting on one of the chairs shivering as if he would freeze any minute now. "Daryl, could you take mom to the car? I'll be there soon". He seemed like he wanted to say something but stayed quiet and nod before walking off. I sighed before making my way over to Brad. His eyes met mine and he gave me a blank expression as he watched my every move. I sat beside him and gave him my full attention. "Brad, why are you here?", I asked as he wrapped his arms around himself and averted his eyes. "Stella, yo
Stella Newton "So, how did it go?", I asked Belle who was happy despite what happened a day ago with her husband. The night she called I told Daryl what happened and that I felt bad for her. But now she was fine and I was happy that she was. "We talked it out and he believed me and then everything went back to normal. I smiled happily at her. " Enough about that, when are you getting your dress for the wedding? " "I'm not sure as yet, I mean we haven't even exactly decided when we will get married",, I replied going into my thoughts for a while. "I can't wait to see you in that gorgeous dress, smiling and gliding down that altar". I smiled along with her as I thought about it. It would be the most wonderful day of my life. Daryl and I have been through tough times but,
1 month laterStella Newton"You look so beautiful Stel, all eyes will be on you - although they have to be on you because you're the bride - but am just saying", Belle ranted on as I admire myself in the mirror.The wedding dress was nothing but pure lace, real diamonds and stones. It hugged every inch of my body so perfectly that my baby bump was full on display. My hair was combed into a neat bun and decorated with some white flowers, a diamond necklace was around my plunging neckline, some pearl earrings and my makeup was done in a nude style that made me look really natural. "Thank you", I replied while continuing to admire myself. "Don't mention it, it's your day Stel, your day to shine, I'm so happy for you". I gave her a hug and
3 years laterStella Newton"Malakai Armani Valerio!". The little rascal got up and ran off before I could catch him. The kitchen floor was loaded with cereal flakes. I left for about a minute and he did this, imagine if it was five.I sighed before calling for Anabelle which was our maid. I hired her about 6 months ago when I heard her story about being kicked out of her apartment and that her parents weren't alive anymore. Since then she has been living with us and she was very hardworking. "Yes ma'am". "Please clean this up", I said as she nod and I left the kitchen. Its been three years since Malakai was born and he's already a little trouble maker. But I loved him and so did Daryl. They had the same color eyes a
(1 year ago) Anna's Pov"I said I dont know who she is!"I stepped back from him. I didn't want a repeat of last time. Last time he hit me so hard I had to call my boss and told him that I was sick. Last time he hit me I had to pretend I wasn't home so my parents wouldn't visit. Last time he hit me I couldn't let my best friend inside the apartment or she'll see the damage he did to my face. Last time he promised to never hit me again. His eyes looked murderous and his breathing was heavy. He started walking towards me but I stepped back. I didn't want a repeat of last time, I couldn't handle it. "Anna, what have I told you before?".He stopped and crossed his arms over his ches
Stella Valerio "Are you going to tell us everything now?" Anna nod as she looked at Daryl who had asked. She woke up not too long ago and came downstairs to talk. I really wanted answers and not only to satisfy my curiosity but also to help and figure out everything. " It started a year ago, when I met Tevin, he was my boyfriend but he was older than me. Everything was fine until I asked him one day if he was cheating on me. Reason being was that he was coming home late most times. He got angry and started shouting and then he hit me".Darly and I was on the opposite side of Her. I was in complete shock ; I never knew she went through that. She might have been working here for a long while but I don't as her about her personal life or what her past was really like. But there was more to the story. "You can
Stella Valerio "I wish I had kids". I glanced at the woman beside me who was also watching the kids playing around at the park. Kai was on the slides and I was enjoying every moment of it seeing how happy he was. He would land in the sand then start laughing before getting up and going again. "A lot of people do", I replied as she agreed with me. It was a fact that a steady percent of the population wanted kids, and also a steady percent that wanted none. But having Malakai wasn't and will never be a regret for me. My son, my husband and my mom was the three closest persons to my heart. My mind drifted to Anna. I hope she will be alright. It wasn't easy to try and escape an abusive relationship but when you do, it's like you can never feel safe. I hope after she leaves the city things will be better for her and that Tevin guy will leave her be
"Morning miss, welcome"."Morning", I replied as I entered my store. It was still quite early so no customers were present as yet. I left home this early because I was really curious as to what was in the package. After going to bed last night I woke up at early dawn and started thinking about it.I was confused as well about the person who left it. Why would they just leave something and not tell their names or give any piece of information?"I'll go get the package for you miss", she said before walking off towards the back of the store. I heard the sound of the bell signaling someone has entered and saw two of my workers coming in. Garcia and Nicole worked at the top floor mainly around the jewelry sections."Morning Miss", the both said as I replied before they continued to their work area. I watched as Ophelia came up to me with a black box in her hand. There was a red ribbon around it and a small not
